Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Turn on tha radio
Nah fuck it, turn it off
Fear is your only god on tha radio
Nah fuck it, turn it off
Turn it off, turn on tha radio
Nah fuck it, turn it off
Fear is your only god on tha radio
Nah fuck it
Your savior's my guillotine, crosses and kerosene
[Verse 2]
Merge on tha networks, slangin' nerve gas
Up jump tha boogie then bang, let 'em hang
While tha paranoid try ta stuff tha void
Let's capture this AM mayhem
Undressed and blessed by tha lord
Tha power pendulum swings by tha umbilical cord
Shock around tha clock, from noon 'til noon
Men grabbin' they mics and stuff 'em into tha womb
Terror tha product ya push
Well I'm a truth addict, oh shit I got a head rush
Tha sheep tremble an here come tha votes
Thrown from the throat, new cages an scapegoats
Undressed and blessed by tha lord
Tha same devil that ran around Managua wit a sword
Check out tha new style that Ollie found
I tune in wit a bullet ta shut down tha devil sound
Shut down tha devil sound
Tha programs of Vietnow
Shut down tha devil sound
[Verse 3]
Turn on tha radio
Nah fuck it, turn it off
Fear is your only god on tha radio
Nah fuck it, turn it off
Turn it off, turn on tha radio
Nah fuck it, turn it off
Fear is your only god on tha radio
Nah fuck it
Your savior's my guillotine, crosses and kerosene
[Verse 4]
Flex tha cerebellum, fire
Somebody gotta shell 'em, these evil angels lists
Hittin' tha AM playlist, paid ta say this
That one's inhuman, illegal
Single woman, tha one wit out a room
The transmissions whippin' our backs
Comin' down like bats from Stacey Koon
Terror tha product ya push
Well I'm a truth addict, oh shit I got a head rush
Tha sheep tremble an here come tha votes
Thrown from tha throat, new cages and scapegoats
One caution tha mic's a detonator unwound
Ta shut down tha devil sound
Shut down tha devil sound
Check tha heads bow in Vietnow
Shut down tha devil sound
[Verse 5]
Is all tha world jails and churches?
Is all tha world jails and churches?
Is all tha world jails and churches?
Is all tha world jails and churches?
Is all tha world jails and churches?
[Verse 6]
...radio
Nah fuck it, turn it off
Fear is your only god on tha radio
Nah fuck it, turn it off
Turn it off, turn on tha radio
Nah fuck it, turn it off
Fear is your only god on tha radio
Nah fuck it
Your savior's my guillotine, crosses and kerosene
[Verse 7]
Fear is ya
Fear is ya
Fear is your only god
Fear is ya
Fear is ya
Fear is your only god
Fear is ya
Fear is ya
Fear is your only god
Fear is ya
Fear is ya
Fear is your only god
